This patch fixes the following issues:
The following symptoms might be seen in systems without this patch:
While adding a host for first time in VirtualCenter While upgrading VirtualCenter, which will trigger all the added hosts to go through vpxa upgradeThe vpxa upgrade failure occurs when /tmp/vmware-root does not exist on the ESX Server host because it gets deleted by tmpwatch utility after 10 days.
1. Back up a virtual machine on console operating system by using vcbSnapAll.
2. Restore the backup by using the command vcbResAll with the –b prompt option as follows:
# vcbResAll -h hostname -u username -p password -s /backuproot/ -b prompt
Note: The default option for vcbResAll is –b prompt. So vcbResAll, when used without –b option leads to the same issue.
The restore fails but the following message is displayed instead of an error message:
Per VM log files will be in /var/log/vmware/vcbResAll-11271.

Download and verify the patch bundle as follows:
# mkdir -p /var/updates
Note: VMware recommends that you use the updates directory.
# cd /var/updates
# md5sum ESX-1002083.tgz
The md5 checksum output should match the following:
d993cfd94ba99daadbf4dd45ca3675c6 ESX-1002083.tgz
# tar -xvzf ESX-1002083.tgz
# cd ESX-1002083
After you download and extract the archive, and if you are in the directory that you previously created, use the following command to install the update:
# esxupdate update
To run esxupdate from a different directory, you must specify the bundle path in the command:
# esxupdate -r file://<directory>/ESX-1002083 update
For example, if the host is called depot:
# esxupdate -r file:///depot/var/updates/ESX-1002083 update
During the update process, logs appear on the terminal. You can specify the verbosity of esxupdate logs by using the -v option as shown below.
# esxupdate -v 10 file://<directory>/ESX-1002083 update
For more information how to use esxupdate, see the Patch Management for ESX Server 3 tech note at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx3_esxupdate.pdf .
